Green isn’t just for Chemlawn anymore.
For some, green alone is a worthy goal. But Mother Earth adds an atypical year-round inventory of annuals, locally made goods, and gorgeous accessories. All fertilizer and compost is chemical-free and locally created, if you know what we mean. And the products and plants themselves come in striking and healthful varieties you won’t find anywhere else in the 612.
Whether you shop here for eco or ego, their cool containers, specialty plants and friendly, forth-coming know-how makes it the go-to place in the Twin Cities. This year, they say the hot seller is anything edible - go at-home locavores!
Find it at:
3738 42nd Ave South, Mpls
call: 612 724 2296
Example: the intro photo pots are made from rice hulls and can be broken down to degrade fully in a compost or landfill. Others are made from scrap rubber and are 4-season friendly.





Why can't this store be in Chicago? It looks pretty cool.

This is my favorite garden store in Minneapolis (btw, I'm so excited someone is covering the Twin Cities!). It's a total sensory experience, too, with so many colors, smells and sounds packed into a relatively small place. This year I stocked up this year on colorful pots and shade-loving houseplants. I'm almost glad I don't have a yard, because this place doesn't carry anything I wouldn't want!

I agree with Gilby. Having a Minneapolis presence on Apartment Therapy is wonderful. I'm finding new ways to look at my city! Thanks, Julie!
